Researchers identify how to find best and worse colours for camouflage

Avoiding detection can provide significant survival advantages for prey, predators, or the military. For the first time, scientists from Bristol's Camo Lab have identified a new method to find the optimal colour to minimize or maximize detectability of a target. The study is published in a Royal Society Interface study. Avoiding detection can provide significant survival advantages for prey, predators, or the military.
